Brides are being told that if they don’t put 50% deposit down on the day , They’ll have pay 100% to order the dress’ . They also will not allow brides to try on any more than 4 dresses and they cannot pick them, they’re picked by the consultant.
All of this does not make for a happy experience and we at Serenity Brides have been told by more than one bride that they found their dream dress in our shop, but got pressured into buying elsewhere. One called the other shop within 24 hours to cancel her order and she was devastated to be told she couldn’t as she would lose her deposit, she couldn’t choose a different dress either, she was stuck with the one ordered – even though she had fallen out of love with it and it had been just 24 hours since placing the deposit.
We understand that buying a dress is a contract entered into by both parties, but where we can, we try to accommodate, it’s not always possible, but we will do our best .
Ladies, you should never have to pay in full for your dress when ordering, unless the wedding is within the next 6 months. If you are told this by a shop, walk away…..you are the customer and the shop needs you , more than you need them. They are playing on your emotion and vulnerability! You also need to look around at what the shop has to offer, it is after all your wedding day and you want to see what’s available.
At Serenity Brides we encourage you to browse the rails and make selections. We will also not show you gowns out of your budget .
If you are on a tight budget and we have the time before your wedding date, we will set up a payment plan for you to help out. We never ever pressurize you – in fact, we will often suggest you go away and think about it when it all becomes too much – after all, we know that even if we offered you a dress for £100, it would not matter if it wasn’t ‘ the one’ – so what’s the point of pushing you where you don’t want to go?
So come to Serenity Brides for a happy, unhurried, unpressured experience, you’ll be glad you did and our feedback says it all.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
